چکیده
The Problem: Physical and perceptual interfaces to games and virtual environments are an exciting new interface paradigm. Recent advances in computer vision make real-time sensing of users’ position and pose possible using relatively low-cost sensors. However, little thought has been given to the interface abstractions that are most appropriate in this medium, or to the relationship of the physical space with the perceptual controls.

متن کاملThe Relation between Gesture and Speech in Congenitally Blind and Sighted Language-learners
Gesture is widely regarded to play an important role in communication, both in conjunction with and independent of speech. Indeed, gesture is known to develop even before the onset of spoken words. However, little is known about the communicative conditions under which gesture emerges. The aim of this study was to explore the role of vision in early gesturing. We examined gesture development in...
متن کاملGesture development: a review for clinical and research practices.
The aim of this article is to provide clinicians and researchers a comprehensive overview of the development and functions of gesture in childhood and in select populations with developmental language impairments. Of significance is the growing body of evidence that gesture enhances, not hinders, language development. In both normal and impaired populations, gesture and language development par...
